Why are gun owners usually so right wing and usually either nazis or ancaps or some other cringey fringe faction?
I feel alienated as someone who likes guns but is leftist on most things, and I bet the rudeness and hostility felt from average gun owners being hostile nazis and belligerent ancaps and such is why the west is so anti-gun these days, and not anything having to do with guns themselves.

Because there is no space for gun owners in any mainstream political discussion. The NRA is a manufacturer's organization primarily, and Republicans are fair weather friends to gun owners at the end of the day.

Because if you're on the left, something you learn early is "don't disagree with the left".
Plenty of left-wingers are gun owners but you don't tell your Democrat friends that you own a gun, just like you don't tell them you eat meat.
Left-wingers eat their own and they will bury you if you step off the line.

Imagine you are raised with guns in the home. Imagine you and your Father spend a lot of time shooting together when you're young. At first it's air rifles, then .22's, then centerfire rifles Imagine your Dad gives you a present on your 12th birthday - a stripped AR15 lower receiver (the legal weapon in disassembled form in the US) and you spend that whole summer afterwards mowing lawns and doing misc work around your whole neighborhood to build the parts into a rifle. Imagine you and your Dad build that rifle together once you've saved the money and bought all the parts. Imagine that rifle is banned in that configuration just months later because people are stupid (1994 AWB) Imagine your confusion, knowing full well that bayonet lugs, collapsing stocks, and threaded muzzles have nothing to do with a rifle's lethality. Yet the lawmakers of your country seem to think that will 'help' somehow. Imagine spending the rest of your life trying to rationally, calmly, and kindly explain how flawed this premise is, and try to honestly educate people so they can better understand how ineffective and pointless it is to regulate features and appearances. Imagine being met with vicious hostility from well over half of the people you ever speak to, simply because you're defending the right to own guns - or more specifically, that you don't agree blindly with banning any and all guns ever. Imagine being told to your face that you should be castrated and murdered because you like firearms (happened to me in a college class - no consequences came to that student.. imagine if I'd said the same thing to her on account of literally any subject) Imagine realizing that no matter how kind, or nice, or reasonable you try to be, you will never see that good faith returned in a discussion on the topic of guns with someone who is ignorant of how guns work but wants them banned.

Imagine that being the vanguard of an extreme-left push that basically blames white males for literally fucking everything that's ever been wrong, and the media, social norms, etc. Mercilessly insult, marginalize, and harass the idea of a white male that knows anything about what he's doing. In commercials, if you need a 'dunce' character it's a white male. Anything else is racist or sexist In movies, more and more villains, antagonists, and 'bad guys' are white males - almost exclusively. Anything else is racist or sexist somehow.
Imagine being so fucking exhausted by it all, and how incredibly fucking hypocritical it is for people preaching 'equality' and 'fairness' to openly marginalize anyone based on skin color or gender - and who openly call for and threaten physical violence you and those who agree with you on gun rights - to absolutely no consequence for them. Knowing full well that if you ever said that someone who disagreed with you deserved to die for any reason, you're immediately branded an intolerant racist and you should be fucking murdered.
Imagine being so fucking sick of that, that you simply don't care to be nice, or reasonable, or approach those topics in good faith - because you KNOW they won't ever be reasonable with you. Once that 'fuck them' threshold is reached, it's pretty goddamn easy to just let it go. I'm white, I like guns, I'm male and I generally prefer the company of women (but not exclusively) so they'll just brand me a racist cis gendered evil gun loving republican anyway.
So fuck them. Why should I be obligated to show kindness and reason when all I get for having my views and beliefs is open hostility?
Nathaniel Evans
Most firearm owners aren't vocal about it. Nobody I work with knows I own firearms.
In regards to left leaning gun owners, there aren't many. That's the case because the people who "care about guns" don't want their rights taken away. The people that actively try to ban firearms? The left.
No matter what political group is in power, I'm going to keep my arms.

Not in the US you cant. We have 2 parties, and both have made it very clear about what they intend to do with guns.
Republicans will defend them. Democrats wish to ban them in almost totality
If you enjoy having the right to bare arms, you can not vote for a party that tells you, you are the problem in our society.
Remember Obama's "Bitter Clinger" comment? That sums up the hostility the left has for guns in America

You ask why gun owners gravitate to non-traditional political ideologies. I responded that its because it is difficult to find a mainstream political party that will represent the interests of gun owners. What any of this has to do with Nazi paraphernalia or some hackjob in Cali messing with his AR I don't know.
I brought up the gang member to show how in a country like this, any attempt at regulation is ultimately useless and unenforceable if one were motivated enough. Consider it.

>it is difficult to find a mainstream political party that will represent the interests of gun owners. I posit that this is the case because it would be political suicide to appeal to groups as paranoid and belligerent as average gun owners
even now, in this very thread, I have not said ANYTHING negative about firearms or ownership thereof, only about the onwers themselves, and you're talking to me like I'm anti-gun and want to """""""regulate""""""""" (read: ban) everything scarier than an airsoft pistol.

we're going in circles here. Gun owners are paranoid and touchy about the subject because for the last 30 years (as an arbitrary benchmark, for the sake of argument), the left has been grabbing for guns as quickly as they have been able. Every promise of compromise was the threat of repeated affronts down the road. It has been take take take with no give. Paranoid and belligerent is what happened when an otherwise law abiding and peaceful demographic became a political target.
Benjamin Anderson
Dude, you're on pol.
I grew up around people who loved guns.(Like, really loved guns) Nobody was racist, it was never even a part our social consciousness.(Nobody fucking thought about it or cared, or even made subtle jokes ironically. It never occurred to us.)
Then I started working with Lefties and all they fucking think about is race. Race race race. You've sullied my mind, and now everything I do and think and say has to be viewed through the lens of this fake, manufactured, politicized bullshit.
The very act of making subtle implications to people that "I'm a good guy, see, I'm not racist" is annoying as fuck, so why bother?
Fuck you, leaf. You're probably a filthy nigger, aren't you?
Gavin Jackson
The who leftist issue was already explained here And yes, Americans get touchy about their guns because every second of every day we are bombarded with propaganda about why we are evil people.

this is all besides the point anyway; I at no point said I want firearms to be more regulated than they are. I'm making fun of you for thinking that the US is a magical cowboy land of zero regulation at all, when you have to sign reams of forms to buy stuff at gun stores and gun laws in states vary between "it's ok i guess" and "if you put a foregrip on it, you're fucking deported"

>the left has been grabbing for guns as quickly as they have been able. Have you not noticed that every time they make those grabs for guns, they point at things like mass shootings and paranoid militiamen and shit who have acquired their arms legally?
Just stop being terrible with guns and people won't want to grab them. Canada has has comparatively few mass shootings and fairly little gun crime among people who acquire guns legally, so our laws have been getting loosened over time and are a lot more relaxed than people think in the first place (see: removal of the long gun registry, the ease of getting a PAL which is a federal level thing instead of provincial so we don't have special snowflakes like the US does in Cali and NY, etc)
Or better yet, look at Britain. Britain's gun discourse is pretty quiet, because most of the chav crime is being done with knives. So there's bids to make knives harder to get rather than relentlessly attacking firearms.
Connor Campbell
The left will always push for fun control, and the right would rather save billions of dollars than do all the bureaucratic shit that gun control requires. They'll pretend to be progun, but they're being pragmatically cheap. Even if one or two leftists happen to like guns, the party is still going to push for controlling them. If you care about the freedom of gats you're gonna have to be a single issue voter.
And we have very idiotic laws. >any gun that was in an 80s movie is banned >need a license to buy gun food, but you can buy all the hand loading supplies required to make gun food without one >need a special license for handguns, and ARs, and you can only shoot them in DESIGNATED shooting ranges >5 round clipazines >the only acceptable form of self defense in canada is lube and a rape whistle, so god forbid you actually use it to protect your life

Large difference is, I can live in a state that isnt totally retarded and not be affected by it.
Your national laws kind of suck due to the scale of them.
I am also very aware of US gun laws. CA, NY, MA, NJ are all a version of bad. Being state laws though, all I have to do is move to another state, or be smart enough to never move to a shithole to begin with. I left Illinois for college and never even considered going back. I never even considered going to school in-state, though that was not just about gun laws

>Britain's gun discourse is pretty quiet, because most of the chav crime is being done with knives
This is where I end the conversation. You're either trolling/shitposting, as is your leafy nature, or you're genuinely this retarded. Either way, this will be my final post in this thread.
I wish Trump would talk about a wall on our northern border instead, because I am sick to goddamn death of Canadians.

Race is very real user. Look at the statistics for education and violence when population adjusted. You can even adjust for socioeconomic factors and there will still be a huge difference.
Race is real, and it's a detriment to force us to live together when we used to have geographical borders like oceans or mountains separating us.
Joshua Nguyen
we have no rules on detachable mag, but are only allowed 5 rounds, and semi auto is fine. we also have no waiting periods and can buy guns by mail. we are in a much better position than places like cali or ny, though thats not saying much.

Anything the state deems as being an """""assault weapon""""" is supposed to be registered with the state, as of cuomo's 2013 NY """"SAFE"""" act. Of course, compliance for this is estimated to be extremely low.
James Nguyen
>Literally a fraction of a percent of gun violence overall, and knife attacks in britain are a non-issue as well
i'm trying to illustrate why "anti-funners" hate you so much. it doesn't take very many cases to make a perceived problem, just a few high-profile ones and a bad response to them.
the even bigger issue is that when these things happen, instead of agreeing that it was a tragedy that could have been prevented but by something other than gun control (like say, highlighting mental health issues, or criminal motivations, or whatever other thing that doesn't end in "let's ban all the guns"), half of gun nerds jump to defend the shooter for removing [insert race here] and the other half insist that if only everyone else was also carrying a gun this wouldn't have happened (when usually, it would have anyway since it's not like these shooters start shooting expecting SWAT to not demolish them at some point)
also you also only need to present your PAL to buy firearms or ammunition, none of this signing 15 ATF forms to buy a gun shit
really, the existence of the ATF at all is proof that 2a has been infringed and won't stop being infringed for the forseeable future

There does appear to be differences between races. That doesn't make me "hate" people based on that, the same way acknowledging differences between the sexes doesn't make one "hate" men or women.
While it could be argued that life would run smoother if we were a homogeneous society, once someone becomes a citizen of a nation based on laws, that law should be upheld, regardless of who you are. Who we bring under the protection of those laws to begin with is up for debate, but once an individual is under its protection, there's no more arguing.
The problem is that Leftist ideology tends to have a problem with the very idea that people may have differences. They confound the idea of impartiality under law, with a kind of meritless equality under a controlling state, which enforces what they see as fairness.
Easton Nguyen
Hey i get it, economies of scale and what not....but its not neccessary to give centralized power to those who have a monopoly on legalized violence.

Jayden Scott
Firearms are the ultimate expression of self determination and freedom. Essentially, you are trust people to be good, and manage themselves (for the most part), or you believe in a central authority that rules you and tells you how to live, because they "say so".
You really need to examine why you consider yourself a lefty.
Do you believe that you should be in charge of your life?
Do you believe that if the boogeyman comes knocking, you can curl up in a ball and hope that a civil servant will risk his life for 35K?
